[quote name='Howie' post='133739' date='Jul 26 2007, 19:32 ']What a shame to see those classics end up like that Eric!![/quote]



Howie,



Three out of the four of them (the two Buffalo’s & the Seagrave) are owned by the Amoskeag Reserve Engine Company Chapter of SPAAMFAA. Here's hoping that they get restored!

To regain my title of the Southern Relic King, I'll post a couple of recent finds. Here is an old City of C'nooga Seagraves TDA. CFD keeps older rigs on hand for awhile at their motor maint./drill tower for parts I guess. Unk. year or mod.

I found this old gal behind a used car lot in Cleveland, TN. I don't think it's a local pumper. Nobody home when I shot the photos.

Found this Ford/Pierce in Inwood WV, sitting behind a house. I didn't get a chance to get any numbers off of it, but the owner of the property said it will be making its way to PA in the future.

That was on eBay a few months ago, not sure if it sold or not. I think at the time we figured out where it was from, but I will have to dig for it. The SN you have was for the motor - a Hercules RXLD. The Maxim SN would be 4 digits and would probably start with 2xxx or 3xxx..I'll see what I can dig up.

[Image: attachment.php?thumbnail=11074][/quote]



If memory is correct, formerly of Montclair FD north NJ. This rig underwent some upgrades by prisoners at one of the state prisons in northern NJ and never saw much service at the training center, it had too many other mechanical issues.
